1854
Dr. Austin Sands, who rented the lot from Trinity Church, builds 112 Chambers Street and a twin next door
Physician Austin L. Sands put up brick Italianate store-and-loft buildings at 110 and 112 Chambers Street around 1854. He owned 110, where he had lived from 1828 to 1838, and had leased the lot at 112 from Trinity Church since 1828. Button importers Schack & Hotop took 112 as soon as it was done and stayed through 1859. Both lots stayed in the Sands family into the 1900s.

1930
Hardware, printing and tire companies fill 112 Chambers Street, including Goodrich and Goodyear in the 1930s
The city's landmark report says the building may have been an older house that was rebuilt around 1854. Over the decades its tenants included hardware, cutlery and printing firms and automotive suppliers, among them B.F. Goodrich and Goodyear Tire & Rubber around the 1930s. Sands, who developed it, died in 1877 while visiting Cairo, Egypt, and a metal fire escape was added by the mid-1900s.
